GymNation is a chain of fitness centers based in Dubai.[1][2]

History

GymNation was established by Loren Holland, Frank Afeaki and Ant Martland in 2018.[3] The first GymNation gym opened in June 2018 in Al Quoz, Dubai.[4][5] As of December 2023, GymNation has 11 gyms in the United Arab Emirates with another five coming soon to the nation, along with multiple locations throughout Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar.[6]

From March to late May 2020, all GymNation gyms were closed due to COVID-19 lockdown.[7] By mid 2021, GymNation became one of the largest chains of fitness centers in the United Arab Emirates.[8]

In May 2021, GymNation signed a contract with the United Arab Emirates Rugby Federation and became the sponsor of the United Arab Emirates National Rugby Union Team.[9] Also in 2021, Amir Khan, the British boxing champ, launched his first boxing academy in the Middle East in partnership with GymNation.[10]

Investment

In February 2022, JD Sports Gyms, part of FTSE 100 listed group JD Sports announced an investment into GymNation in its bid to expand within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.[11][12][13][14]

In November 2023, GymNation announced a management buyout of all equity held by previous investor JD Sports. [15] [16]
